I rarely listen to Mully and Hanley, and the reason is not Hanley. As far I know Mulligan isn't a dick to callers, is reasonably knowledgeable about sports (doesn't think Buster Posey plays 2nd base or that the Bulls could face the Pelicans in the Eastern Conference playoffs), and doesn't suffer from delusions of grandeur like Leery, but he is an absolutely horrible radio host.

Hanley makes some lame jokes, but he's a decent radio host (he's kind of like Hub minus the smarm and nervous giggling) and doesn't make me PTFB like Mully does.

with haugh.... Decastro will soon have almost all of the GAME radio hosts back on WSCR.... well, I can think of one probably not getting invited back to a decastro managed station:

What the hell is Finfer doing now? Anybody know?

How old is Hanley?

Out of anyone who has been fired, this one was the most undeserved. I'm no huge fan of Hanley but that show was like the bedrock of the Score. You could always count on them to beat ESPN. I think people take that for granted. There was a time for about the first 15 years where mornings were a dead zone at the station

Never listened. what are they doing now? making a new show or getting a new co host?

I didn't listen to the show much either but of the two I definitely liked Hanley better than Mulligan. The producer also used to drive me nuts. Like why is he talking so much?

I can't argue with the ratings, but I think the problem of the show is that it didn't change with the times. If you think back 10 years ago, it was like a breath of fresh air compared with the shows around it: North and Huebner, Hamp and Holmes, Murph, etc. It doesn't feel like a breath of fresh air now. I think the format has gotten more sophisticated over the lest decade and the show hasn't.

It was a breath of fresh air only in that North's morning show was a general topics disaster. M and H were a stabilizer and have been their entire existence. There was never anything compelling you to listen, just nothing compelling you to turn away as North's show had done.

They are good for a morning show. Give the facts with relatively little editorial and let me ease on into my work day.

I might take pipe for this but I think Sir would be a good morning host.

CH is correct in how the M&H show functions daily. Because of that, I find myself only listening when the Cubs win because I hate to hear them lament losses. One thing I noticed over the years, is they tend to get overly optimistic or pessimistic based on the last game or two. Their high/lows annoy me, but I guess that is the nature of daily sports talk.

When I listen to Mully & Hanley, I go into it thinking "hm, they will talk about sports from last night." That's about it and they deliver. Something to be said for that.

Yep.

So is Hanley just fading away this week? No big going away show, given that he's the other Score original who never strayed to another station?

maybe part time weekday late night host and weekend host and update anchor Julie DiCaro will now be in position to eulogize Hanley's career?
